MMP-8 and TIMP-1 are expressed on the surface of activated human MDM and murine macrophages, but Mmp-8 is unlikely to bind to surface-bound Timp-1 on these cells. Surface-bound MMP-8 contributes to TIMP-resistant monocyte/macrophage pericellular proteolysis and macrophage migration through collagen-containing tissue barriers.
